Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Georgia

On December 11,2008 I was sentenced to the Department of Corrections for violation of probation with an experation max out date of March 18, 2009. I would be finished with everything. NO PROBATION, NO PAROLE. MAXOUT DATE. Have all court papers and documentation signed by judge, etc...When that day came they did not release me. Somewhere between the court clerks office and the Dept. of Corrections someone made a typo on my paperwork. I served almost an extra 4 MONTHS FOR SOMETHING I HADN'T DONE. During these 4 months, I had to give my mother custody of my child. My criminal history isn't the best, I admit that. But that was the purpose of my incarceration. I served the time for my crimes and haven't been in any trouble. I've kept my nose clean. My self esteem, hope, insperation, etc.. seems to have disappeared. My oldest daughter wouldn't and still doesn't speak to me cause I promised her I'd be there when she graduated. She didn't want me to come see her when she g raduated basic training either. My mom has the responsability now to raise my child (have 2, 17yrs.& 4yrs.)as I do everything I can to prove I'm fit) I'm missing out on her young years. First day of school, ect... I'm turning into a mess. I took evey action available to me at the time to prove I wasn't supposed to be there. They continued to ignore me. I didn't know when or even IF I was ever gonna get out. They would not even take 5 minutes to listen to hear me. They knew thay had made a mistake, especially when my mom sent me my court papers. Their response was basically " What does it matter, it's only only a few more months!" yea, a few more months of my life, not theirs. I ended up being released on June 27,2009.
